Thousands of parents will fondly remember Gary Coupland who, for 32 years, was the music man for the Singing Kettle and helped entertain their children on stage or on the small screen.

Now it’s time to get dolled up, get your skates on and ready, teddy, go to meet Gary Coupland again in the Funbox production of Christmas in Town.

The show is the brain-child of Gary, Anya Scott-Rodgers and Kevin Macleod and, to use a pun, there’s trouble in Toy Town because someone’s arrived who is up to ’snow good’.

The mischievous Gnorbert the Gnome creates mayhem and pinches everyone’s favourite things.

Santa has asked the gang to look after his most precious toy, so it’s up to them to make sure Gnorbert doesn’t get his hands on it.

But why is Gnorbert so naughty? What is Santa’s favourite toy? Find out by getting on ‘board’ with Toy Town.

It’s at The Brunton in Musselburgh on Saturday, December 21, Monday December 23 and Tuesday, December 24, and times vary.

The show is packed with singalongs and festive favourites like The Grand Old Duke of York and Jingle Bells along with new songs,
